UltraStar: How good are you singing Roxette songs?

Hi!
I just found a cool videogame on the Internet for PC and I thought you would like to give it a try.
You may know the popular PlayStation 2 game ’SingStar’. In this game players sing to music videos in order to score points. Players interface with their PS2 via USB microphones while a music video plays on screen. Lyrics are shown at the bottom of the screen. SingStar matches a player’s song voice to the original track, with players scoring points according to how accurate their singing is. ’Ultrastar’ is an open-source game based on SingStar and created for PC, but its advantage over the PS2 game is that you can include any song you want! All you need is a midi file of the song with a vocal track, the lyrics and of course the original song. Then you need to edit a txt file (you have to include the lyrics, tone and tempo among other things) and you’re ready to go!
I have created some Roxette songs. Here are some screenshots:

You can download the latest version of the program (open-source, free) at http://sourceforge.net/projects/ultrastar/
I hope you like it!

I’ve tried the programme and I think it’s amazing but to create a song is kinda tedious, it would be great if you could send some of yours. Thanks, my email is [email protected]

I’ve uploaded on MegaUpload the Roxette txt files I’ve created for Ultrastar: Dressed for Success, Sleeping In My Car, Do You Get Excited and Almost Unreal.
Now you just need the mp3 and the videos if you want :-) Oh, and you might need to edit the #MP3, #COVER and #VIDEO lines of the files with the name of your files.
